Immediately repeal the "Comfort letters" issued to on the run paramilitaries
The documents issued by the then British Government under the terms of the Good Friday agreement have created a two tier justice system in Northern Ireland. This should not be permitted to continue.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We're not sure what you mean by "repeal the "Comfort letters". The then Secretary of State for Northern Ireland made a statement to the House of Commons on 9 September 2014 explaining that the scheme is at an end and these letters should not be relied on. We're therefore not sure what further action you'd like the Government to take.
